Intellectual property law is good. Excess in intellectual property law is not. This blog is about excess in Canadian and international copyright law, trademarks law and patent law. I practice IP law with Macera & Jarzyna, LLP in Ottawa, Canada. I've also been in government and academe. My views are purely personal and don't necessarily reflect those of my firm or any of its clients. Nothing on this blog should be taken as legal advice.

Canada, has a surprisingly large number of IP/Tech blogs. By far, the most popular is Michael Geist’s blog.
By my estimation, his blog is more than 5 times more popular than the
next most popular blog, that of his comrade, Howard Knopf’s EXCESS COPYRIGHT blog.

I have always said that my little blog is to Michael's as Avis is to Hertz. Now I see that Avis has just acquired its much smaller competitor, Zipcar:

Hmm... Barry, I see that, according to your analysis, Michael is No. 1, I am No. 2, and you are No. 4. You know - your blog is really rather zippy...Maybe you and I should do lunch sometime...
